One user sais, “Confidence is a dangerous drug for a cricketer. Ishan Kishan this Indian domestic season has been scoring runs everywhere and that’s showing. Every time he is playing for India.He has peaked right in time for a XI slot at a T20 WC he had no hopes for, when the Asia Cup began.”
Suryakumar Yadav added 62 runs while Hardil Pandya chipped in with a 42-wun knock to set the Kiwis a mammoth total to chase in the final T20 outing.
